WHO IS ZENDAYA ?

At the tender age of just 25 Zendaya’s rise to fame has been phenomenal, and with over 53 million followers on Instagram, she has become something of a global sensation. The more famous Zendaya has become, she has been scrutinised time and time again for her persona, having to overcome adversity and racial discrimination since she was a child.    Born to an African-American father and a German-Scottish mother, Zendaya has stood out for her unique appearance, becoming one of the greatest role models for young girls all over the world. Zendaya has made the notoriously difficult transition from child star to actor and musician. And then to feminist, activist for women’s rights, author and philanthropist. She is a transformative young star, crossing TV, fashion and film, destined to be the biggest Hollywood actress on the planet. Even at a young age, Zendaya’s beauty helped launch her career as a child model. Later, she became a backup dancer, which saw her rise to mainstream fame in 2013. After playing the successful role of Rocky Blue on Disney Channel’s show Shake It Up, she went on to become a contestant on Dancing with the Stars.   She also starred as the spy, K.C.Cooper in the comedy TV series K.C. Undercover. And after overcoming a creative block, she was able to immerse herself in a vulnerable, emotional state, in order to play the complex character of Rue Bennett in the acclaimed teen drama series, Euphoria. Her character explores issues of drug addiction and mental illness in the series, giving Zendaya room to showcase the depth of her acting talents. This resulted in her becoming the youngest recipient of an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2020.   Her early success in acting saw the beginning of what would be a brief, yet successful film career, from starring in the musical The Greatest Showman, and playing Michelle in the superhero film Spider-Man: Homecoming and its sequels.  She went on to make an audio appearance in the computer-animated musical Smallfoot and appeared in the romantic drama Malcolm & Marie.
